We predicted lust week that the new schedule between Col umbia and Darlington would prove the most satisfactory one we have ever had, and its trial during the past week has prov ed the correctness of the predic tion. There are now two trains each way between the two places every day (Sundays ex cepted), all of them being fast trains run in daylight, and, if the short connecting link be tween Darlington and Florence be excepted, all of them pas senger trains. What could be more delightful! May it con tinue for ever and a day! The Coast Line officials are certain ly entitled to the heartfelt thanks of every citizen of Dar lington for what they have done for them in regard to this mat ter. Some day we hope to have equally as good schedules be tween Charleston and Darling ton, but we don’t want to ap pear greedy, and must be thank ful for the great assistance al ready rendered us. THE BALL* AS OPENED. At a meeting of the County Exectutive Committee of Edge- field County held on Monday, the following was adopted: Resolved, That, we esk the Demo cratic clubs o( Edgefield County to call together their organizations on Saturday, June 29, inst, (or the pur pose o( electing one delegate (nr each twenty-five members, or majority fraction thereof, of said clubs, which delegates shall compose a mass meet- to assemble at Edgefield Court House on Monday, the 1st day of July, to ■elect three men from the Reform fac tion of the Democratic party and three men from the Conservative fac tion, witom we shall urge the people to nominate at the primary on the 80th of July as Edgefield County’s delegates to the coming Constitution al Convention. Reports from Edgefield Coun ty indicate that the spirit to di vide the delegates equally be tween the two factions seems general there. The same is the case in Aiken County, where the County Exectutive Commit tee has met and passed resolu tions similar to those adopted in Edgefield. When is Darling ton going to act in this import ant matter, if at all? OUR HOSPITABLE SISTER. The State Press Association held its twenty-first annual ses sion in Sumter last week. It has been our privilege to attend several of these meetings in previous years, and we have al ways found them enjoyable, but we do not hesitate to say that the Sumter convention was the most delightful of them all. Our friends on the other side of Lynche’s River “always know how to do the right thing”, anc we have come to the conclusion, based on several years of ex perience and observation, that their ability to fill the part of hosts is not surpassed in any other city of the South—a sec tion famed far and wide for its hospitality. If Sumter is as nice a place to live in as it is to visit, not many years will elapse before the city will attract enough people within its hos pitable borders to make it the metropolis of South Carolina. A Happy Marriage Mr. James Lemon, of Charles ton, 8. C., and Miss Annie Stu art, of Darlington, were happily married at the residence of the bride’s mother last Thursday evening at half-past eight o’clock by the Rev. R. A. Child.

Blizzard with Miss Maggie Doyle, Mr. Charles Howell with Miss Fannie Padgett, Mr. James Wright with Miss Nellie Doug las, Mr. Archie Biggs with Miss Mollie Hurt. The happy young couple left on Monday for their future home in Charleston, ac- inied by the best wishes wi buck many friends at this - J, ““ W. A. B. BEST FIT Guuranteed. All work done by J. C.
